Comprehension:
Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.

“The two great empires of Lilliput and Blefuscu have been engaged in a most obstinate war
for six-and-thirty moons past. It began upon the following occasion. It is allowed on all hands
that the primitive way of breaking eggs, before we eat them, was upon the larger end; but his
present majesty’s grandfather, while he was a boy, going to eat an egg, and breaking it
according to the ancient practice, happened to cut one of his fingers. Whereupon the emperor
his father published an edict, commanding all his subjects, upon great penalties, to break the
smaller end of their eggs. The people so highly resented this law, that our histories tell us,
there have been six rebellions raised on that account; wherein one emperor lost his life, and
another his crown. These civil commotions were constantly fomented by the monarchs of
Blefuscu; and when they were quelled, the exiles always fled for refuge to that empire. It is
computed that eleven thousand persons have at several times suffered death, rather than
submit to break their eggs at the smaller end. Many hundred large volumes have been
published upon this controversy: but the books of the Big-endians have been long forbidden,
and the whole party rendered incapable by law of holding employments. During the course of
these troubles, the emperors of Blefusca did frequently expostulate by their ambassadors,
accusing us of making a schism in religion, by offending against a fundamental doctrine of our
great prophet Lustrog. This, however, is thought to be a mere strain upon the text; for the
words are these: ‘that all true believers break their eggs at the convenient end.’ And which is
the convenient end, seems, in my humble opinion to be left to every man’s conscience, or at
least in the power of the chief magistrate to determine. ow, the Big-endian exiles have found
so much credit in the emperor of Blefuscu’s court, and so much private assistance and
encouragement from their party here at home, that a bloody war has been carried on between
the two empires for six-and-thirty moons, with various success; during which time we have
lost forty capital ships, and a much greater number of smaller vessels, together with thirty
thousand of our best seamen and soldiers; and the damage received by the enemy is
reckoned to be somewhat greater than ours. However, they have now equipped a numerous
fleet, and are just preparing to make a descent upon us; and his imperial majesty, placing
great confidence in your valour and strength, has commanded me to lay this account of his
affairs before you.” Thus spoke the Principal Secretary.
I desired the secretary to present my humble duty to the emperor; and to let him know that I
thought it would not become me, who was a foreigner, to interfere with parties; but I was
ready, with the hazard of my life, to defend his person and state against all invaders.

Comprehension:
Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.

“The two great empires of Lilliput and Blefuscu have been engaged in a most obstinate war
for six-and-thirty moons past. It began upon the following occasion. It is allowed on all hands
that the primitive way of breaking eggs, before we eat them, was upon the larger end; but his
present majesty’s grandfather, while he was a boy, going to eat an egg, and breaking it
according to the ancient practice, happened to cut one of his fingers. Whereupon the emperor
his father published an edict, commanding all his subjects, upon great penalties, to break the
smaller end of their eggs. The people so highly resented this law, that our histories tell us,
there have been six rebellions raised on that account; wherein one emperor lost his life, and
another his crown. These civil commotions were constantly fomented by the monarchs of
Blefuscu; and when they were quelled, the exiles always fled for refuge to that empire. It is
computed that eleven thousand persons have at several times suffered death, rather than
submit to break their eggs at the smaller end. Many hundred large volumes have been
published upon this controversy: but the books of the Big-endians have been long forbidden,
and the whole party rendered incapable by law of holding employments. During the course of
these troubles, the emperors of Blefusca did frequently expostulate by their ambassadors,
accusing us of making a schism in religion, by offending against a fundamental doctrine of our
great prophet Lustrog. This, however, is thought to be a mere strain upon the text; for the
words are these: ‘that all true believers break their eggs at the convenient end.’ And which is
the convenient end, seems, in my humble opinion to be left to every man’s conscience, or at
least in the power of the chief magistrate to determine. ow, the Big-endian exiles have found
so much credit in the emperor of Blefuscu’s court, and so much private assistance and
encouragement from their party here at home, that a bloody war has been carried on between
the two empires for six-and-thirty moons, with various success; during which time we have
lost forty capital ships, and a much greater number of smaller vessels, together with thirty
thousand of our best seamen and soldiers; and the damage received by the enemy is
reckoned to be somewhat greater than ours. However, they have now equipped a numerous
fleet, and are just preparing to make a descent upon us; and his imperial majesty, placing
great confidence in your valour and strength, has commanded me to lay this account of his
affairs before you.” Thus spoke the Principal Secretary.
I desired the secretary to present my humble duty to the emperor; and to let him know that I
thought it would not become me, who was a foreigner, to interfere with parties; but I was
ready, with the hazard of my life, to defend his person and state against all invaders.
